Option to not receive the spy probes loss report

iguypouf · Aug 18th 2011, 1:25pm

When you spy a lot, with the presence of more and more officers having the spy level +2, you receive a lot of fighting reports like :

"Contact lost with your fleet".

Annoying. Each day, I guess that I delete more than 200 reports I never read.

So my suggestion is to have a box in the option panel
"don't receive probes fighting reports"

The algorithm is easy > if a fight is generated due to a spy mission, send it to the attacker only if the option is selected.

Select the option by default to not disturbe players than don''t want this (but I cannot find a reason for that), and don't use this option for filtering fighting reports when another players spy you (I use this some times to gets the latest tech levels).

Regards

You can perform a spy mission with more than just probes. In fact, you can spy with your entire fleet as long as there are probes. So that change in algorythm wouldn't be the solution, imo. In fact, I know players who do their fleetsaves in spy (spying inactive moons, e.g.).
Maybe changing it only when the spy missions occur with spy probes alone. I'm a little confused actually as to if that would work.

Yes, I know this fact, and its a reason why I don't suggest an automatic removal of those reports, but an OPTIONAL removal; so, these players that are using spy flys just have to let the box checked in the options.

I can also, if exceptionnaly I launch a attack in spy mode, check the option and uncheck it later, just as when I have to spy a lot of time a player that require more than my default probes amount, I go in the options and increase this default option, and when its finished I change back.

I like this idea, very nice feature for fleeter to avoid all those annoying messages.

in option would be ok, and those messages go to trash , but not delete

and only with own spy

I like the idea, but maybe it could be easier to modify the spy report itself ?
Instead of moving these messages (or not) in a trash bin, you would be notified directly in the spy report, if the probes have been detected / destroyed by your enemy or not (with a link to the battle report if necessary).

Yes I had yet thought about that, but normally the spy report is built 1 sec before the fight... So it will be really easier BUT it means too much modifications for the engine to have a little hope that this modif will be made by the development team !

Why to delete those messages, why not to attach them to another message, or to couple of messages of same genre?

I liked the idea, I do not even read these messages, then I click on delete.
But the suggestion of sirEdward is also good.
